Our Mission

HABcore Inc., is a not-for-profit corporation serving Monmouth and adjacent counties in New Jersey. HABcore, Inc. is devoted to providing permanent and transitional supportive housing in a family setting to low income persons who are homeless, disabled, or unable to care for themselves while affording them lives of dignity and meaning.

"HABcore serves at-risk individuals in Monmouth and Ocean counties, providing a clean, safe home and supportive services to more than 100 residents each day." ------The Red Bank Hub, April 2010

"In 2009, HABcore served 114 individuals. Ninety-nine percent of those individuals were people with disabilities." ------Two River Times, April 2010

"HABcore works internally and with peer agencies to help the residents rebuild their lives and become productive members of society." ------Atlantic Highlands Herald, March 2010

"HABcore program a godsend for the homeless..." ------Asbury Park Press, 2005

"A decade ago, a small group of people saw a problem and decided to solve it. Today, two dozen disabled men and women, who might otherwise be homeless, have comfortable rooms, good food and abundant help and support in a family atmosphere." ------Asbury Park Press, 1998

Success StoriesSuccess Stories

Carl S.
Carl S. - A few years ago, Carl started his own original greeting card company, with the use of art and graphic design. His successful company has now expanded; not only does he create personalized greeting cards but also develops photographs, original art and Victorian reproductions. Most of his artwork is inspired by the architecture and scenery from Ocean Grove New Jersey. Please check out his new website at www.cardsbycarl.com where you can view samples of his work, order products and contact him. He will also be displaying his artwork at upcoming HABcore fundraising events.

Internal Job Training Program
The Internal Job Training Program was started as a pilot program in July of 2005 at The Laurel House in Asbury Park. It has already produced some success stories; four from our first group of interns are now part-time employees of HABcore. They provide floating coverage for staff.

Daphne W.
Daphne lived at our independent Keansburg apartments. She graduated from Brookdale Community College in June 2006. She left us at the end of August to begin working in the Walt Disney World internship program in Orlando, Florida.

Jason S.
When Jason arrived at HABcore from the Fort Monmouth Shelter, he didn't know his mother or father; he only had occasional contact with an aunt in East Orange.

Jason was diagnosed with schizophrenia, depression, narcolepsy and obesity. He participated in the Guiding Light Program and, with the help and encouragement of the Coffey Residence staff, Jason earned his high school diploma from adult high school. At graduation, Jason said he felt his first real sense of accomplishment. Rather than see it fly away, HABcore’s management staff encouraged Jason to enroll in Brookdale Community College.

Charles R.
For 13 months, the Coffey Residence was a lot cheerier and a LOT less quiet thanks to the residence of Charles R.

Charles was 19 when he came to HABcore with grandiose ideas about becoming a rap star or a great chef. We encouraged his growth, but reminded him that he needed to focus on small steps and small successes before he could make his first million.

Jon P.
The success of HABcore’s program is truly illustrated by the success of our residents. The story of Jon P.’s career in the US Army after leaving HABcore demonstrates the value of the supportive services offered.

Before Jon came to us, he slept on an open porch. With care and guidance from the HABcore staff, he enrolled in classes at the community college and began to make long-term plans. Jon decided the Army offered the best job training and enlisted last fall. He is now a trained communications specialist serving in Iraq.
